When I was young you let me drive
Kept it under 55
Back then, I couldn't reach the pedalsYou help me find the parachute
To catch the wind to slow the fall
Waiting for the dust to settleAnd it's hard to hold on to the bird who flies
When you know it belongs to the skies
When you have to let it go untilOne day, I'll hear everything you say
I might even try your way
I'm not slowing down I've found
Speed feels better
Faster, quicker I can get what I'm after
I'm not afraid of disaster
I like to ride the wilder side
Speed feels betterBoring and a waste of time
Till I take the leap you know it feels sublime
I get the rush then I know I'm livingAnd it's hard to hold on to the bird who flies
When you know it belongs to the skies
When you have to let it go untilOne day, I'll hear everything you say
I might even try your way
I'm not slowing down I've found
Speed feels better
Faster, quicker I can get what I'm after
I'm not afraid of disaster
I like to ride the wilder side
Speed feels betterIt feels better, speed feels better
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah...Maybe you're right
Maybe you know
I'm on my ownCrash and burn you rise again
Leave the ground to ride the wind
I'm gonna try if it takes foreverOne day, I'll hear everything you say
I might even try your way
I'm not slowing down I've found
Speed feels better
Faster, quicker I can get what I'm after
I'm not afraid of disaster
I like to ride the wilder side
Speed feels betterIt feels better, speed feels better, it feels better
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah...
